In hanafuda, if you have three pairs in your initial hand, it's called 'kuttsuki'.
Alternate kanji spelling, also used in hanafuda contexts.
The term likely derives from くっつく (to stick together), referring to cards that form pairs. The kanji 喰 is ateji, possibly chosen for its meaning of 'eating' or 'biting', suggesting cards that match or 'stick' to each other.
